Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Kailua, HI.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Kailua is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
